Description

Suprasorb® P Sensitive is an advanced silicone foam wound dressing crafted by Lohmann & Rauscher, designed to cater to wounds with low to moderate exudate levels. Its unique construction makes it particularly suitable for individuals with sensitive or fragile skin, ensuring gentle and atraumatic dressing changes.

Key Features

• Multilayer Design: The dressing features a soft, absorbent polyurethane foam combined with a gentle silicone contact layer, known as Optisil® Technology. This design allows for efficient exudate management while minimizing trauma during removal.

• Versatile Variants: Available in several forms, including Border and Non-Border options, as well as specialized shapes for areas like the heel and sacrum. The Border variant includes a super-absorbent core for higher exudate wounds, while the Lite version is tailored for lower exudate levels.

• Antibacterial Option: The Suprasorb P Sensitive Ag variant incorporates ionic silver, providing antibacterial properties for wounds at risk of infection.

Benefits

• High Absorbency: Rapid vertical absorption and effective moisture management help maintain an optimal wound environment, reducing the risk of maceration.

• Protective Barrier: The outer film is waterproof and bacteria-proof, yet permeable to water vapor, allowing for shower-proof protection and safeguarding against lateral shear forces.

• Comfort and Flexibility: The dressing conforms to body contours with a two-way stretch backing, making it suitable for hard-to-dress areas. It can be easily cut to size for a secure and comfortable fit.

Application

• Gentle Adhesion: The silicone adhesive ensures minimal pain during removal, making it ideal for patients prone to medical adhesive-related skin injuries (MARSI). It remains securely in place, can be repositioned, and is suitable for self-application.

• Long Wear Time: Each dressing is sterile and individually sealed, with the ability to be worn for up to seven days, depending on wound conditions. It is easy to apply with multiple liners to prevent adhesive contact during placement.

Indications

Suprasorb® P Sensitive is indicated for a wide range of wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, and burns. It is also compatible with gels for necrotic wounds and cavity fillers for deeper wounds.

Clinical Performance

The dressing has demonstrated effective exudate management, enhancing patient comfort and ease of use. It contributes to improved peri-wound skin condition and reduced maceration, making it a reliable choice for both healthcare professionals and individuals managing their own wound care.
